Charles, We are running an IBM xSeries with dual Xeons 2.5ghz and 5gb memory with 105 users all Universe (Linux) real time system, lots of files(type30), lots of activity and our response time is exceptional. So, all I can say is that you probably need less than that. Actually, these days you can get a system similar to this for peanuts if you don't need to get fancy with the storage system. Anthony
